Not every difficulty with focus means ADHD.
●ADHD is a brain-based condition that often begins in childhood and continues into adulthood.
●Executive dysfunction, on the other hand, describes trouble with planning, organising and getting things done, and it can show up when you are run down, unwell or under stress.
Many adults with ADHD experience executive dysfunction, but it can also happen to people without ADHD.

🧠Here is an interesting fact: even a few nights of poor sleep can temporarily mimic executive dysfunction.

Understanding the difference can help you work out what kind of support or strategies might actually help.

How Childhood Trauma May Echo Into Adulthood. Not every childhood feels safe, but our early experiences shape how we learn to trust, cope and connect later in life. Trauma in childhood isn’t always dramatic. Sometimes it’s the quiet stress, neglect or unpredictable care that teaches the brain how to survive.

These patterns can echo for decades: perfectionism that never feels “good enough”, trust issues, anger that comes out of nowhere, or coping habits that leave us feeling stuck. Even chronic guilt or people-pleasing can trace back to moments when we didn’t feel safe to be ourselves.

Research shows childhood stress can shape how our brain makes decisions and handles risk, often making us more cautious, hyper-alert or overthinking. The brain tries to protect us — but it doesn’t always serve us well as adults.

Understanding these echoes is not about blame, but about compassion. We can’t change the past, but we can respond differently today. Trauma-informed support, safe conversations and a gentle plan may help lighten the weight of old wounds.

If any of this feels familiar, know you’re not alone — and you’re not broken. Support is available.

NAIDOC Week is more than a date on the calendar. It’s an invitation to listen, learn, and stand alongside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities — honouring the strength, stories and resilience they hold.

Acknowledging history can be an important step in supporting mental health and community healing. Psychological safety grows when respect is real — when we listen without judgement, seek to understand, and walk towards a future where every story has space.

🌿 At , we believe in walking this path together.

With busy days and full calendars, it’s easy to power through without pausing. But today we got to do what we value most—connecting. It was such a treat catching up as a team, welcoming back a colleague who’s been abroad, and sharing some well-earned downtime (and delicious food!).

At , we know the little moments matter—checking in, debriefing, and supporting one another. That’s what keeps our team strong, and our care for patients even stronger.

“What if I make the wrong choice?” It’s a question many people sit with, sometimes for months or even years. Research calls this decision paralysis: a pattern of overthinking that can keep us frozen at life’s crossroads.

📖 Studies link perfectionism and fear of mistakes to this cycle of stuckness. But evidence also shows that taking small, imperfect steps forward can help break rumination and build clarity.

As psychologists, it’s a powerful reminder: action, not perfection, is often the antidote.

Our minds are capable of holding both pain and possibility at the same time. Trauma can shape how we see ourselves, but it does not define who we are entirely.... Healing reminds us that no single chapter tells our whole story.

Safe conversations and trusted support can help ease the weight you don’t have to carry alone.

What if every conversation and space offered a sense of safety and understanding? Trauma-informed care shifts the focus from asking “What’s wrong?” to “What’s happened?” helping people feel seen and supported with sensitivity and respect.

Tiny chairs, soft light, quiet corners. Here’s a glimpse of how our Collins Street practice holds space for children to feel secure, seen and comfortable to be themselves. Research suggests that calm, child-friendly rooms can help reduce anxiety and make it easier for young visitors to settle in and share what’s on their mind, in their own time and way.
